Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, (the "Form 10-K"), except as described below.

a.Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations as at the end of, and for, the periods presented.

These financial statements include the accounts of Hamilton Group, Hamilton Re, Hamilton U.K. Holdings Limited, Hamilton Select, HMGA Americas, ACML, and TS Hamilton Fund (collectively the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

b.Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The major estimates recorded in the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, premiums written, provisions for estimated future credit losses, the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses and the fair value of investments.
